Location

Located in the historic center of the city, this landmark San Francisco, California hotel sits at the crossroads of the Financial District, Chinatown, North Beach and Nob Hill. Within these bustling, culturally diverse surrounding neighborhoods you are just steps away from San Francisco's most popular attractions such as Alcatraz, Coit Tower, Lombard Street, the Golden Gate Bridge, and several world-renowned San Francisco art museums. For premium San Francisco shopping, catch a ride on San Francisco’s historic Cable Cars to several retail therapy hot spots including Union Square, Embarcadero Center, Westfield Mall, Fisherman’s Wharf, Ghirardelli Square and the Ferry Building.

Did you know?

Your support in staying at the Hilton San Francisco Financial District helps keep the conference costs down, which directly affects your registration fees. SIAM guarantees the hotel that we will fill a certain number of “room nights” (rooms per night) during the conference. SIAM incurs penalties if too many attendees opt to stay in other hotels in the area or neglect to indicate to the hotel that they are with the SIAM conference. At this time, conference costs do not include meeting room rental. If SIAM fails to fill the contracted room block, SIAM is then charged the cost for the meeting rooms on a daily basis, along with a hefty penalty. Future registration fees could increase to cover these additional risks.
